October 2023 Recipe: Thai Pumpkin Soup!
Embrace pumpkin season with open arms and savor this exquisite Thai Pumpkin Soup. It features everything you love about cozy comfort food in one bowl!
Bursting with proper Thai flavors, this gourmet pumpkin soup is surprisingly easy. It’s made with roasted winter squash, a bundle of aromatics, spices, and coconut milk. Blend them all together and you have a rich and indulgent soup that will keep you coming back for more.
The best part is it only gets better with time. Let the soup chill in the fridge overnight, then dig into the best leftovers you’ll ever have the next day.
This Thai Pumpkin Soup is naturally vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free, making it a versatile and allergen-friendly choice for all!
Pro-tip: this recipe is on the spicy side but you can adjust the heat to your liking by adding less curry paste.

Loved this soup! I had never cooked with lime leaves before and they just had this incredible scent and flavor. I went to my local asian market for the lime leaves and the Thai basil, but I could not find the recommended red curry paste anywhere, so I’ll have to see if I can order that online for next time. The soup is warm (a little spicy) and complex in taste, cozy, and soooo good. I will definitely make this again!
We’re over the moon to hear you enjoyed the recipe, Taylor. Thanks for your kind words!
It’s certainly 5 stars!!
I loved this recipe! I was worried it was going to be too spicy but it was perfect! The blend of spices was divine.
Thanks for the lovely review, Terry! :)
